i encountered this for the first time today while attempting to read something on archive.today.
i confirmed that decoding the qrcode using a computer and following the URL it contains is insufficient; the error it gave directed me here which is what the linked screenshot is of.
the old type of captcha remains available too, for now:
…just use a different website?
to prove you’re human, enter your credit card number
I still won’t order online from a store that won’t show me shipping cost without a full address and phone number. I’ll give them the zip code, that’s all they need, that’s all they get before I decide.
I got one of these. They had accessibility options so I just did the auditory one. It says a couple words, you write them out, and you’re done. Like hell am I using a Phone for this shit.
Just another reason to not use Google.
LOL, fuck off. How about instead I move on to somewhere less hostile toward the user instead?
-
Hype up AI.
-
Everyone starts scraping the internet to obtain training data for their AI.
-
To block the scrapers, countless sites implement stricter bot detection tools.
-
The owners of the bot detection tools now effectively hold all of the internet by its throat, deciding who can access what and extorting more and more data from you to verify you’re human.
Fucking genius.
You can always build more bot detection tools, right? Or am I wrong?

On the bright side, this means they are really worried that privacy practices such as those popular among the Lemmy crowd can make their surveillance expensive or maybe even impractical at scale, rather than profitable. I’m never sure if it’s working, with firmware and all. Almost a good sign? Am I deluded?
No malicious site would ever fake this kind of flow in order to get someone to scan a dangerous QR code. Nope, that would never happen.
Looks like a very good way to shoo actual humans off of your website.
Nice captcha. Would be a shame if someone intentionally injected malicious code that had users scan a QR code under the guise of security.
And had the qr code rickroll them, because that’s really a good song and dude got pipes
Absolutely not
I had encountered this terrible captcha before. I just refresh the page until old captcha appear.
No.
Is an android emulator able to bypass this? Just curious - I haven’t started the degoogle process.
I would guess not, given the other recent news about degoogled Android devices also being unable to pass reCAPTCHA.
